** [[spoiler: Of all the guesses, this one is very, very close. In reality, Jack's attempt to tank NBC fails, as some of his shows bring in big ratings and TGS boosts ratings with popular sketches where Tracy plays a VP candidate who looks exactly like him and acts like a buffoon. Hank Hooper retires and names Jack CEO of Kabletown. Hank's last act as CEO before he leaves is to cancel TGS.]]

[[WMG: Kenneth was forced into immortality by God to give him a chance to atone for something he did in the past]]
His soul is continuously reincarnated not only to give him a chance to atone for his sins, but to help others atone for theirs as well. He must live life as a pure-hearted man for at least 100 years and redeem at least 3400 people.

** Also backed up in the Pilot when he brings Liz Lemon to where he grew up, talks about how lucky he was to get out and then proceeds to pee on the building. He's a talented enough comedian to know a good, grounded set-up when he sees one, and likes the reaction he gets with the payoff.

[[WMG: 30Rock is the modern version of MaryTylerMooreShow]]
I thought about this while watching the latter show. Both inculde
-A TV Station setting
-A female protaganist working at a TV Show while balancing a hectic personal life (Mary/Liz)
-A boss she trusts yet also battles with creatively (Lou Grant/Jack)
-A manchild star with a big ego(Ted/Tracy)
-A bald friend who offers advice (Murray/Pete)
-an entitled blonde who causes problems (Sue Ann/Jenna)
Update the setting from news to sketch comedy and add an immortal page and you have 30 Rock.

[[WMG: The show is set during an apocalypse.]]
Think about it... the first season was relatively normal. The characters were eccentric and unstable people working in a bizarre environment. But still.... relatively normal. But since then things have become stranger and stranger. Kenneth's apparent immortality. The way Jack and his latest wife's marriage fell apart. Bizarre, surreal secrets from the characters' pasts. Realities are clashing on the 30th floor and the line between the real and the unreal is starting to blur.

[[WMG: If Liz had a high position at work, she would have turned out like Carol]]
With Jack's talk with Liz at the beginning of "Double Edged Sword" spoke of how she should be careful of dating someone like her. Let's look at the facts;

1) Both take the rules far too seriously (Carol took it to almost KnightTemplar levels with his position as Captain of the plane).

2) Liz tries to fire a woman for dating the guy she like back in season one.

3) She constantly puts herself in the center of the universe and treats her problems as bigger than they really are while the writing staff are more well adjusted and laid back (whom she always views as morons) while having slight self-centered tendencies.

Really, be thankful she didn't get a higher level job like manager of NBC or Carol isn't a wall street executive.

His soul was chosen to break the evil in Luna in order to make the Mane Six be able to change her back to good.
''Momma, I am not a person. My body is just a flesh vessel, for an immortal being whose name, if you heard it, would make you lose your mind.''
